VNC server sessions can't be shared among multiple users, but one user can start multiple sessions. > 2.

Currently, with any "out-of-the box" VNC system, you have to start a separate VNC server session for each user. This can be accomplished at system start (see /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers and /etc/init.d/tvncserver). Also, the server must be running before the viewer connects. Some companies have built their own proprietary proxy server around TurboVNC that receives requests on a single port and starts up a TurboVNC session on the fly as you're describing, but those proxies aren't open source solutions. Most people who design portals around TurboVNC just let the user control their sessions manually via a web interface. The web portal shows the user any TurboVNC sessions they have running, and the user either starts a new session or connects to an existing one, and the portal either launches the Java viewer with the appropriate parameters or feeds them a .vnc configuration file that is opened by a local installation of TurboVNC Viewer on their laptop/desktop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
